Ryanair will remove three popular routes from Cork Airport in 2026 after relocating one of its four aircraft to another airport. The budget airline will stop flying from Cork to the Polish cities of Gdańsk and Poznań, as well as to Rome, Cork Airport has confirmed. Last July, Ryanair announced plans to move one aircraft from Cork to Shannon, citing lower fees at the mid-west airport. As a result, Cork Airport now has three Ryanair aircraft based there, while Shannon has four. In a statement to the Irish Examiner, a Ryanair spokesperson said the decision to cut the Cork routes was due to “lower-cost options elsewhere across the network.”Cork Airport is operated by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA), while the Shannon Airport Group operates Shannon Airport.
